Scaling from product validation to commercial deployment.

The threat got cheap. The defence has to keep up.

Armory is a defence-technology company building counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) solutions to protect military and civilian assets against the growing threat of rogue drones. The company develops systems intended to detect, identify, track and neutralise unauthorised drones across a range of operational environments.

As drones become cheaper, more autonomous and more widely available, they pose a growing challenge to borders, critical infrastructure, public events and sensitive installations. Armory’s product strategy uses a layered defence approach that combines detection, electronic countermeasures and hard-kill capabilities.

Its publicly described portfolio includes Surge, a handheld or vehicle-mounted smart detection-and-jamming system; radar capabilities for detecting difficult targets, including stealth or encrypted-communication drones; and hard-kill concepts such as software-defined ammunition, interceptor drones and laser-based systems.

Why we invested

Drones changed what has to be defended.

As drones become cheaper, more autonomous and more widely available, they threaten borders, critical infrastructure, public events and sensitive installations. A layered answer — detection, electronic countermeasures and hard kill — is the only one that holds.

  • BORDERS
  • CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
  • MILITARY INSTALLATIONS
  • PUBLIC EVENTS
  • SENSITIVE SITES

Armory is building for that world.

8X View

Hard environments create hard companies.

We back founders building technology where the barrier is not just software speed, but engineering depth, technical resilience and real-world deployment.

Armory reflects that thesis.

Building deep technology for real markets?We would like to understandwhat you see before others do.
